Without answering Agnes pointed to a
chair. She could do this, and for the time,
she could do no more. All that she had read
of the hidden and sinister life in the palace al
Venice all that she had heard of Montbarry's
melancholy death and burial in q foreign
land; all that she knew of the mystery OF
Ferrari's disappearance, rushed into her
mind when the black ROBBED figure confronted
her, standing just inside the door. The
| strange conduct of Lady Montbarry added q
new perplexity to the doubts and misgivings
| that troubled her. There stood the adventur-
ess whose character had left its mark on so

reposed quietly, she held the screen as
-composedly as ever The test had been tried,
and had irretiievably, utterly failed.
There was another silence. Lady Mont
barry considered with herself The smile
that came slowly and went away suddenly
the smile at once so sad and SO cruel-showed
itself on her thin bps. She lifted her screen,
and pointed with it to seat at the further
end of the room. "Be so good as to take that
chair" she said.
Helpless under her first bewildering sense
Of failure-not knowing what to say or what
to do next-Mrs. Ferrari mechanically
obeyed Lady Montbarry, rising on the sofa
for the first time, watched her with undis-
guised scrutiny as she crossed the room-then
sunk back into reclining position once more.
"No,n she said to herself quietly, "the woman
walks steadily: she is not intoxicated-the
